LETTER % ANOTHER NEED OF 0111 TOWN N'o need of our town interests the entire community more than a need which concerns the children. A Large majority of the children in our school have eaten a hurried breakfast by eight o'clock and do not get home to dinner until after 2:30. Any growing child requires something to eat between these hours. Tests made by Health Departments all over the country have shown that the child's ability to learn la decidedly greater IF during recess It has something HOT and nourishing to eat rather than a cold lunch. Often the children do not even have this cold lunch but dull i their appetites and minds with candy. Of oouree a child's health comes first and Its education second and since a hot lunch is a help to both of these, why do we not have a hot lunch served daily at our schools? It has been done in other towns no larger thaji Cheraw fend been proven practical and self suporting. In Burlington, X. C., Uie Karent-'teacner s Aaewmuun inaugurated it for the good of the children. They sold either hot soup and crackers, or hot cocoa and sandwiches, at a nominal price, Just enough to cover expenses. The children marched through the lunch room at recess time, were served in "cafeteria style" in a few (minutes and still had plenty of time for play before going back to the . class room. After the first few days there were no children who did not come with the price of a lunch, and the experiment proved 60 satisfactory that finally an enterprising woman took it over and finds it a paying proposition. In larger town? it is even more successful. "Dallas, Texas, Feb. 14.?Annual receipts from lunch rooms maintained at more than 30 public schools in Dallas total from $250,000 to $300,000, according to Supt J. F. Kimball. Beginning with the lunch room service Initiated by the Mothers' club through community effort and later taken over by the board of education local schools are now serving Junches dally to about 70 per cent, of the pupils in attendance at an average cots of from five to ten cents, Mr. Kimball's estimate shows. In addition to lunch rooms operated in 31 public schools, there are two roams maintained by the Mothers' Club. In three high schools, each of which has from 1,500 to 1,800 pupils, the luncu rooms are in cnarge 01 a cnn, who has bis tsaff of cooks and helpers. These establishments have no connection with the domestic science departments, Mr. Kimball explained. They are handled entirely by the chef, and he volume of business is heavy, feeding on an everage of l,r>00 pupils a day at each high school. The boys and girls are served at different counters, an dafter the lunches are eaten, they return the used dishes to the scrapping tables. All high school pupils are required to eat their lunches in this room, regardless of whether they buy food there. Main pupils in all schools bring part of their lunch from home, supplementine It with food from the lunch room. In the small suburban schools an efficient supervisor makes the rounds, attending to proper maintenance of the lunch rooms. With regir d*o cost of operation the luncbee are sold near actual cost. 5 per cent, net profit being made to be used as a sinking fund for breakage. The supplies are all bought by thf purchasing agent of the board of edu cation in wholesale quantities." $ From "The State." Isnt there some organization in Cheraw interested enough in the welfare of the children to inaugurate this experiment here? TVe could begin in a small way. as the ydid even in a bir city like Dallas, and at least try tb' plan in our schools. Let us work toward it and hope that it will b accomplished thing in the near future. Lamher Man Loses Foot. Mr. J. C.

THIRD PRIZE ESSAY By Jamie Spruill. The following essay was awarded third prize in the Calendar Contest offered by Cheraw Drug Co. The Framing of the Constitution The war being over, the states began to see the need of a central government. The Articles of Confedera lion had no power to enforce th^e laws congress made. They could not rais( revenue. The states had the powei to do as they wanted and there was quarreling among them. There wen riots in the North among the soldiers who had not received their pay foi fighting during the war. Congress could not borrow money in Europe because the European nation knew the weakness of the Confederation Congress issued paper money, whicl was hardly worth the paper it wat printed on. It took ten dollars ol this paper money to buy one pound of sugar. Pirates preyed upon Ameri can commerce. Virginia, seeing the need of a cen tral government, called a conventior to meet in Annapolis to discuss ? solution of the difficulties. But as on ly five states were represented, a sec ond meeting was called to meet the following spring in Philadelphia. On May the 25, 1787 this conventior m>et in Independence Hall, Philadel phia, where the Declaration of Independence was written. Washingtor presided over this convention, and nc body of greater men ever met in anj country for any purpose. No conven tion could have discussed principal; thoroughly, differed more widely, 01 gotten better results out of such ar unpromising field. At a momeni when all seemed lost, and some wen proposing compromises, Washington the leader of the colonies during tn< war and loved by the people as n? other man, arose aud spoke these sa cred words, "It is too probable thai no plan we propose will be adopted If, to please the people, we offer wha' we ourselves dissaprove how can w< afterwards defend our works? Le us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair: the even is in the hands of God." This eann to pass.

PRESBYTERIAN PIPE ORGAN BE ING CHANGED Sunday School at Lyric. The location of the pipe org:n in the Presbyterian Church is being changed this week. Since the moving of the choir loft from the side to the rear of the pulpit the-organist ha? found it hard to get the best results as the choir could not always hear the organ properly. At a meeting of the Deacons this week it was decided tc have the organ moved so that the choir and organist could be near each other. An organ builder being on hand, was given the contract to make the change and went to work at once On account of pipes being down and placed about in the church building it will not be possible to hold services there on Sunday. The St. David'a Episcopal Church kindly offered the use of their Church building to the Presbyterians for next Sunday morning and evening service so the church service will be held there at 11:15 o'clock A. M. and 7:30 o'clock P. M. The adult department of the Sundaj School will hold clashes at the Lyric Theatre at 10 o'clock while the primary department will meet as usual at the session house of the Presbyterian Church. W. E.

McCown of the Cheraw schools who was here this week attending the meetings of the Stare Teachers' Association announced that the* Cheraw high school is planning for the baseball season with a vim and determination. Naturally every team has Its eye on the championship in the pre-season dope but Cheraw is out after honors this year and is determined to come to Columbia in the late spring as one of the contenders in the championship finals. The team is fortunate in having practically all the "old men" back in the line up this season and with the valuable experience they received last season they are expected to be nothing less than formidable con. tenders for the big honors thi3 season. Behind the bat the teaim is well protected, it appears, with "Toots" Causey, who has the distinction of bearing a mighty good baseball name, as well as being a promising young player, holding the big mitt. Charlie 1 ide s being counted on as the first string pitcher with one or two others who should be able to fill in with good results.
